Yeah, a little harsh there---note I was asking for help on exactly this 
problem about a year ago.  As it, I haven't even heard of this tag.  But 
it might just do the trick, which would considerably simplify the code.

Will, if it's alright with you, maybe I can shoot you some HTML files to 
test while I look into this?  This is a good opportunity to muck out 
that area anyway.

Thanks!
